Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:05:50 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/worldarchivesproject/?p=218#comment-1133I have just started to work on the Pavia Lombardia death records. Is there any way that one can go back and correct entries that were previously keyed?
Also, if a death act was not keyed, will someone catch it?
I enjoy the translation process, but I am worried that I am making too many technical errors. I want to be a help, not a hindrance.

I refer to Pavia Death Acts Project. I happen to find some completely handwritten act (no problem) and what I need to know is how I have to key those acts that refer to to people who resided in a certain Comune, but died in a different Place (i.e.: XX lived in Bereguardo but died in Pavia’s hospital – I find this act in Bereguardo recordings). How should I key “day of the death act” and “day of the death (taday-yesterday)”? The problem is that the Comune whose death acts I’m keying, on a certain date received a death act from another Comune, where the death actually took place and where the act was actually compiled. Imho, I should key the date of the REAL act (I mean, the act compiled in the Comune where the death actually happend), as the act I find is just a transcription, but no field is specified to detail where the death actually happened. This way, it seems to be useful to specify the day of the death as “today/yesterday”, otherwise it appears meaningless.
Please, let me know How I have to act, thanks a lot.

1. If the listing is for an individual, only key in the name information – no occupation or business data. 2. For a business listing, only key the business name, no individual names. 3. If a line in the directory states ‘vacant’ skip that line. 4. Key in Mrs as a prefix.

I think the jury is still out on the sections.

I have been seeing them in arbitration, with people keying the 4 names in one section and in two sections.

I am keying all 4 people into one section, because as per anna, the information being keyed is the same for each person.

I just emailed her to ask if she can come clear this up for us.

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 03:40:14 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/worldarchivesproject/?p=218#comment-938OK I went to the link prvided by mesanunu I find this clear as mud. Am I that much of a dunce or is there information missing? Wouldn’t it make sense to put the name in the name slots and the worlds Rest. dentist, barber etc over in the business slots. If there is an actural business name then definately put the whole name into the business section.
I understand there is a question on whether we should put a blank where there is a vacancy in the colomn. I haven’t been doing that, just skipping to the next name. I can see my percentages going right down the tubes with this one. Oh well.

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 21:17:11 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/worldarchivesproject/?p=218#comment-936A few questions on the Jacksonville, Florida directory.
1( on the images that come up with 2 pages do we put the second page in section 2?
2( Should the business’ that come up in the column be held over until we do the margin ads or as we encounter them in the column.
3(When an individaul names is listed in the column with Restr. or another business name should it be put in the business column
Thanks for you support

Ancestry has a website in Sweden, http://www.ancestry.se and I see that they have a link for the Varmland project, so hopfully we’ll get some Swedish-speaking volunteers. I wonder if they would be using the same message board as WAP U.S. Probably have their own. I also wonder if the stats (% completed) include their contributions. Probably. …Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts “out loud.”
